Physical Therapy Treatment for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Abstract

Objective: To conduct a systematic literature review on the efficacy of physical therapy treatment for rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Methods: From the oldest record through 2020, a systematic review stayed undertaken via scanning PubMed, The Cochrane library, Google Scholar, and Pedro. Randomized controlled trials evaluate the efficacy of physical therapy treatment for rotator cuff tendinopathy. The Pedro scale was used to appraise the quality of the involved trials.

Results: The search found 19,100 titles, of which 15 Randomized Controlled Trials were included. Articles that score on the PEDro scale of more than six are included. Physiotherapy is beneficial for declining strength, ROM, pain, and disability in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy, corresponding data of moderate quality.

Conclusion: The current literature supports the effectiveness of physical therapy treatment; however, more research is required because of the unavailability of research and accompanying constraints.
